You must not only have competitiveness but ability, regardless of the circumstance you face, to never quit.
Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t pretend that you do and, and some point, you will.
I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.
You can’t always be the best. You have to remember that everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
If something stands between you and your success, move it. Never be denied.
You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits.
Don’t be afraid of failure. This is the way to succeed.
You’re playing a game, whether it’s Little League or Game 7 of the World Series. It’s impossible to do well unless you’re having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there’s pressure. But I just look at it as fun.
I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.
